- Buddha has been reincarnated into a lion to help the animals as he did with his fellow humans.
- I thought this was funny because one little hare honestly thought the earth was falling in and spread the news with such conviction that others actually believed her.
- It reminds me of the internet.
The Monkey and the Crocodile:
- A couple of crocodiles decide to eat the great monkey's heart but he lives on land while they reside in the water.
- The monkey is always out smarting the crocodile.
- There is a similar story in The Babbit The Monkey and the Crocodile
- The monkey gets away by telling the crocodile that he is no in possession of his own heart.
The Parrot Who Fed His Parents:
- Buddha has been reincarnated into a beautiful parrot.
- It was sad that none of the other birds would go back to their leader after finding that he was caught.
- This reminds me of, "Give a man a fish, he'll come back for more. Teach him how to fish, he will learn to catch his own food".

The Man Who Worked to Give Alms:
- A man and his wife gave everything they had to give alms.
- They literally had nothing but the clothes on their back.
- People should be more giving.
